Ingredients

  • 3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (see Tip)
  • 1 1/4 cup low-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries, preferably wild

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Combine oats, milk, applesauce, brown sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, baking powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Fold in frozen blueberries. Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups, about 1/3 cup each. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
